I am an editorial and assignment photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Special rockstar talents include portraiture, lifestyle, food, and documentary photography with an authentic and atmospheric bent. For me photography has always been about the stories; the lives I get to inhabit, attempt to capture, and then share. I focus on finding real moments and getting to the trueness of my subjects. Daily, this job both terrifies and invigorates me and the best assignments are the ones that teach me something new. So every one, basically.

Other random facts:

3. Best compliment ever, "I had a good time during the photo session. The picture you have of me on your web site really says a lot about me. Thank you for making our day a time to remember." -Tom Hazel
